It's time to kill the argument that DPS abilities keep healers from healing.

Every time I smash AoW, I feel like I'm playing in a puddle.

Did slapping it at least teach you anything about martial arts?

It only taught me I feel as lame as everyone thinks I look in my AF gear. . -.

Can I have Xande's version, please? It actually feels powerful.

I thought the reason they didn't want to add more dps spells to healers was because players who only wanted to heal would feel pressured to dps by the community. As much as I would like more abilities to use while questing and doing the MSQ, I think what healers really want is something to do during downtime and it doesn't necessarily have to be a dps rotation. In fact I think the whole reason we are getting sage is because the design team misinterpreted why people kept asking for more dps abilities. Not every healer wants to play a pseudo dps. I'd say they just don't want to be bored pressing 111111 while other players get to have interesting gameplay.

I agree with this. In one interview, Yoshi mentioned that they thought the healing community wanted more opportunities to DPS so they made sage with that in mind, but they completely missed the point because it still has the same 1 button DPS spam that all the other healers have.

I think it's possible to have both worlds in one cupcake here - additional DPS options / rotations / combinations / procs could be added so that healers who are more comfortable with the healing have that option to push themselves a little further.

We also need a new word other than meta, because it's been stolen by Facebook...any ideas?

Lol the amount of people who don't play healer (at least at a competent level) is truly apparent in this thread just by looking at some of the responses. Yikes

Agreed. it's amazing how many would-be healers just want more dps. Shows how little they know about actual healing.

I think SE introduced it as a kind of inside joke to tell scholars to pound sand anytime they ask for qol or buffs. Or so that's how I've been seeing it xD.

So, how do you handle the healing requirements of Terminal Velocity?

Pre-Cast Medica 2 as the cast bar gets to roughly the V in Relativity.
Glare/Dia, depending on if I need to refresh DoT > PI > Cure 3 > PoM > Glare > Rapture > Thin Air + Asylum > Medica > Swiftcast > Medica 2 > Assize > Glare > Glare > Cure 3 > Medica > Cure 3 > Glare > Cure 3 > Rapture > Glare spam until clear or enrage.

Edit:Just realized you said Velocity and not Relativity lol. I'm not changing it.

its amazing how people think that during a run where you rarely heal most of the time so you are stuck pressing 1 button that don't interact to anything in your kit over over again is so stimulating for the brain making that it make the healer forget that he is one cause he is focusing on his dps and they simply not think its because he fell asleep during the run because he waited so long for the tank to actually get damage that require healing so he can press more then 1 button, that he nearly became a skeleton meme at that point.
